Dear all: Kathmandu University Open Source Community (KUOSC) is organizing a 3 day long Open Source exposure and training program called* Linux Talks 2010*starting from 6th June 2010 at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Kathmandu University. This program is the continuum of the Linux Talks series of program that KUOSC has been organizing since long.
At Kathmandu University, we have various disciplines of science, engineering and arts studying together. This training will basically be focused on exposing this diverse mass to concepts of FOSS and at the same time teach them the basics of using Linux. Because we are focusing on students from science and arts as well, we will not be dealing only with the hard core linux stuffs like Linux terminal, /etc/ etc but will also try to incorporate topics like "Using Firefox addons to be an internet power-user", "Increasing productivity using Compiz" etc that might be interesting and helpful to everybody. The program will be held after the college hour ie 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm so we are expecting maximum participation from students. Some teaching faculties have also shown interest in taking the training. So we are very much enthusiastic about this as well. We want suggestions from the community to make this program more effective and successful. May be, you can suggest what can be a better way to present the concept of open source and Linux to the students of science and arts. Or anything that might be relevant to our training.
